In [[Zermelo-Fraenkel]] set theory, one must assert that an infinite set exists. This is known as the [[Axiom of Infinity]]. Constructive mathematicians and practicians of [[elementary technique]]s deny this axiom believing that the world and human thought are necessarily [[finite]], the realm of the infinite being the realm solely of [[God]].
